Man posts bail with counterfeit bills
Most people post bail to stay out of jail.
Not to risk a lot more time there.
According to Cinnaminson Police, a Camden man included counterfeit $20 bills while paying his $400 bail on July 7.
Lousy counterfeit $20s.
Run off on a color copier, apparently.
"They're pretty poor. I didn't have to touch them and I knew they were bad," said Detective Sgt. William K. Covert.
They were almost as obvious as the copies of $1 bills he's seen created by students trying to fool soda machines.
The paper didn't feel right. It lacked the colored threads. And Andrew Jackson's face was kind of fuzzy.
Ronald White, 35, was arrested for several counts of shoplifting from a Burlington Coat Factory and Shop-Rite on Route 130.
He had $900 in cash on him, not all of it counterfeit.
Cash is accepted at both stores.
Police also discovered he had outstanding warrants from Camden that required $400 for bail.
So, while the shoplifting charges were being processed, White paid the bail.
The next day, Covert discovered that five of the $20 bills were funny money.
Very phony funny money.
No way these bills would ever pass the pen test, where a special marker is dragged across.
Some forgers bleach $5 bills, then reprint them with images from $100 bills, hoping to fool the pen test, Covert said.
Holding such bills up to a light quickly reveals they're fake.
A complaint was signed against White for forgery.
But before police found him, he found police.
On Monday, White turned up at the Cinnaminson Police station, saying he overpaid for the bail and wanted his money back.
In his possession were two more bogus $20 bills, police said.
Today, he was still in Burlington County Jail, in lieu of paying $5,000 cash bail.
"One of my favorite sayings is, you can't teach stupid, because every day something else comes up and you just shake your head," Covert said.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Majestic Athletic spelled things out quite clearly Tuesday: It was the Palmer Township uniform company's fault that Washington Nationals Adam Dunn and Ryan Zimmerman wore jerseys reading "Natinals" during a game last week.
Dunn and Zimmerman donned the shirts that were missing an "O" for the first three innings of Washington's 3-2 loss to the Florida Marlins on Friday night. They eventually changed into jerseys with the team nickname spelled correctly.
"All of us at Majestic Athletic want to apologize to both the Washington Nationals and Major League Baseball for accidentally omitting the 'O' in two Nationals jerseys," Majestic Athletic president Jim Pisani said in a statement distributed at Nationals Park on Tuesday.
"We take 100 percent responsibility for this event and we regret any embarrassment for the Nationals organization, players and fans," the statement continued.
"I began playing with it for a photo,'' Mr Mashiah said. "I was pointing at it when it suddenly jumped up at me - I didn't realise that crocs were so aggressive.''
Our thief didn't die, and therefore is not eligible for a Darwin award, but Randy-Jay Adolphos Jones is certainly someone who should be prevented from reproducing. The suspect indecently assaulted a Philadelphia woman as she exited her car in front of a friend's house in Lancaster County, PA around 1:00am. The woman squirmed free of her assailant's grasp but lost her purse -- with her cell phone in it -- to his grimy paws in the process.
